    HELP! Just got car back but ....

    I think that the plug wires are hooked up wrong. I can see in the pic that the first three go to 1234 cyl. That first four on the right side should be 1, 2, 7,3 (pretty sure), I just fixed this same problem. I don't have the firing order in my hand but popping and rough idle would be a good...

    My rear needs to vent

    Hissen On one of my 90's 4x4 Rangers, I ran the vents to the engine compartment on both axels. Then I stuffed about a half inch of cotton in the end. I put the tubes by the firewall harness, pointing down towards the area where the wires enter the car (drivers side) and ran zip ties the...

    cobra cam???

    I agree with all. The cam is no better than the 5.0 cam. If you just add 1.7 RR's you can get .30 of lift on a stock HO cam and get better results. Other wise, buy a b cam or maybe an F cam. Anything higher you will have to dish the pistons because of the higher lift. Add the 1.7 RR's and a...

    Throwout bearing, creaking noise? Lack or grease maybe?

    I had a squeeky bearing that would stop after touching the pedal. I figured at first that it was the TB. I pulled the tranny, replaced the bearing with an OEM Ford bearing and within one day it started squeeking again. THEN, I realized that it could only be one other thing, the retainer was...

    t-5 rubbing on transmission tunnel....trim it?

    When I did a swap in my 95 vert, I used a 93- bell and tranny. I was off by about an inch at the hump hole. :D I ignored it until the trans bumping against the body drove me nuts. I pulled out the dremel with the fiber disk on it, marked a line, covered the shifter hole and grinded it nice...

    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    Only a D I C K would post what you posted. Why don't you just go fix it your self or go to a tune shop. Quit being so pissy if no one responds. Were not all ASE certified but we have many years of Mustang experience. .02 :notnice:

    Finally getting results from garage theft

    Bad thing about restitution, it takes forever to recover. I had my car broken into in college a few years back. Luckily there was a sting op in progress by the cops watching and buying from the thieves who actually hit the same truck twice, and my car was the last to be hit. They threw my...

    Anyone use Wazee aluminum pullies?

    I was wondering if anyone else has purchased the aluminum PS pulley and or aluminum Idler pulley from Wazee on ebay? I have had terrible problems with squeeking belts after a year of use. Both pullies are warn and must be replaced with steel stock pullies. This is on a stock 5.0 motor with...

    Clear Headlight Install Help

    How much different is a 90 from an 88. I just installed some headlights in an 88 and it took me 20 minutes at a slow pace. I just had a few bolts. Is the 90 front end different than an 88's? I can't remember 90's front end.

    replace door windows

    To get the back part out, the bolt or slide. The window has to go to the very back of the door and turn the window towards the inside of the car. Believe me, it comes out. Getting it in....... Thats different.

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    My recent wreck, Oct 8th, took 36 days and $6400 to fix. At that, they broke my parking break cable, and did not fix my oil pressure sender to Auto meter gauge. They called it corroded. Well it worked before. I had a 96 Cobr hood, bumper on the car and they replaced it. I asked them if I...

    Cheapest/Best place to get a TKO-500

    Where should I get the hardened syncros, etc? I just bought a nice rebuild manual and have been studying it at work :). I think a T-5 looks pretty easy to repair the FORD way. I wish I had acrobat writer. Man I'd put this manual up. Its a Ford Manual like if I was going to school on...

    3.55's or 3.73's????

    I'm putting in 3.73's on Monday. This is the second set in another car. My GT, stock with 3.73's , is faster than a stock Cobra with 3.08's. It helps alot to have the 3.73 on a stock Mustang. It seems the perfect of all the others ratios' to have 3.73's. Better than 2.73"s.....Vert. :(...

    8.8 rear end rebuild

    Call Randy's ring and pinion. They have all the bearings, clutches, and gears needed for the change. Not badly priced either. Rear end bearings have a long life and don't neccecerily need to be changed even at 110 K miles. Just not really any wear in the pumpkin. Those bearings will go...

    exhaust leak?

    I have the same problem on my GT. The gasket is copper and is only good for one torque. I am going to put a new gasket on my GT to get rid of the leak. Next time I'll skip the copper gaskets. I think they suck! I'll get a felpro set. Much better that felpro is.
